  • Cambridgshire Memories of the Cold War Era
    Cambridgshire Memories of the Cold War era Our mission: to research, record and archive the local history of the Cold War era ฀ working with Cambridgeshire residents to tell our stories and commemorate 30 years since the Fall of The Berlin Wall. SpyNet is a National Heritage Lottery Funded project, led by New International Theatre Company. Thanks to partners The Norris Museum, Ramsey Neighbourhoods Trust, Ramsey Youth Club (Crunch) and The Library Presents. Introduction The following texts are transcriptions of interviews from people who give a variety of personal perspectives on the Cold War. These are mainly from those serving professionally with RAF, USAFE, Civil Defence or the Intelligence services; but also included are the insights of a teenager growing up on a base, an artist who lived on the Soviet side of the Iron Curtain and the memories of people who protested at Molesworth. The memories begin in the '60s and cover the height of the Cold War in the '80s. The contributors all have a connection to Cambridgeshire, highlighting the importance of this period of history for the region. Today the activities have changed, USAFE U2 spy planes no longer fly from Alconbury and the RAF Nimrods no longer fly from Wyton, however cyber-espionage continues apace at undisclosed locations. The physical landscape is changing too with RAF Molesworth, Alconbury and Upwood all facing closure and re-purposing to housing development, but the memories stay with those who lived through a unique historical era. 1 2 contents 1.

  • Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances Mckenney, Assistant Managing Editor
    Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances McKenney, Assistant Managing Editor The peace following World War II was short- lived. Soviet forces never went home, kept occupied areas under domination, and threatened free nations worldwide. By 1946, Winston Churchill had declared, “An iron curtain has descended across the conti- nent.” Thus began a 45-year struggle between the diametrically opposed worldviews of the US and the Soviet Union. In 1948, the USSR cut off land access to free West Berlin, launch- ing the first major “battle” of the Cold War: the Berlin Airlift. Through decades of changes in strategy, tactics, locations, and technology, the Air Force was at the forefront. The Soviet Union was contained, and eventually, freedom won out. Bentwaters. Bitburg. Clark. Loring. Soes- terberg. Suwon. Wurtsmith—That so many Cold War bases are no longer USAF instal- lations is a tribute to how the airmen there did their jobs. While with the 333rd Tactical Fighter Training Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., in 1975, Capt. Thomas McKee asked a friend to take this “hero shot” of him with an A-7. McKee flew the Corsair II as part of Tactical Air Command, at Myrtle Beach AFB, S.C. He was AFA National President and Chairman of the Board (1998-2002). Assigned to the 1st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron, Beale AFB, Calif., RSO Maj. Thomas Veltri (right) and Maj. Duane Noll prepare for an SR-71 mission from RAF Mildenhall, UK, in the mid- 1980s.

  • House of Commons: Written Statement (HCWS178)
    House of Commons: Written Statement (HCWS178) Ministry of Defence Written Statement made by: Secretary of State for Defence (Michael Fallon) on 08 Jan 2015. Infrastructure Review The US Department of Defense has today announced the outcome of a review of its requirement for bases for US forces in Europe. These decisions reflect the impact of force structure changes, the changing security environment, advances in technology and the fiscal climate. I am delighted to inform the House that, following consultations between the two Governments, the US have decided that RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk will be the first location in Europe to host their F-35 aircraft, a decision that reflects the closeness of the UK/US defence relationship. Two squadrons of US F-35 aircraft will be based there, with the first aircraft scheduled to arrive in 2020. Their relative proximity to the RAF’s F-35 Lightning II aircraft (to be based at RAF Marham in Norfolk) paves the way for continued close collaboration between our respective forces. In particular, it offers further opportunities for the UK and US air forces to work and train together, including simulator training where the UK has made a significant investment. Elsewhere, the US has decided to withdraw from its base at RAF Mildenhall (adjacent to RAF Lakenheath) and to consolidate at RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire its activities at RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth. The precise timing is not yet determined; withdrawal from RAF Mildenhall is unlikely to begin until 2019. The US presence at RAF Fairford, Menwith Hill and other sites is not affected by this review.

  • Response to Cherwell Local Plan Partial Review Submission
    Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 (Part 1): Partial Review - Oxford's Unmet Housing Need Proposed Submission Representation Form B – Gosford and Water Eaton Parish Council Response Part B Forms Gosford and Water Eaton Parish Council : Response to Cherwell Local Plan Partial Review Submission This document sets out our response to the various policies and sections of the Submission Plan and supporting documents. This follows consultation with our parishioners. In response to Question 3 we have no specific comment to make at this time as to whether the Plan is legally and procedurally compliant or is compliant with the duty to cooperate. Our view is that the Plan and supporting documents are not sound in respect of being positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy. Our response below sets out for each part of the Plan our reasons and the changes requested. Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 (Part 1): Partial Review - Oxford's Unmet Housing Need Proposed Submission Representation Form B – Gosford and Water Eaton Parish Council Response Oxford’s Unmet Needs Paras 1.22 -1.33 Reasons We note that the Oxford Growth Board as reported in para. 1.28 of the Submission states: “The Board should note that the working assumption of 15,000 is a working figure to be used by the programme as a benchmark for assessing the spatial options for growth and is not an agreed figure for the true amount of unmet need” This raises two key points. One is that this is the 4400 figure is a working assumption to be tested.
